Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1686

When it was about time, Luke sent a car from the company to pick up Luca. At the same time, he informed Wanda that the car was on its way to the villa.

After she ate with Old Man Rayne, Luca glanced at the time and saw that it was getting late. She said, "Thank you for your hospitality but it's getting late. I have to head home."

Wanda quickly said, "Luca, leave a little later."

"No, I have some things to attend to." Luca shook her head. She was satisfied being able to spend the entire day with her grandfather. She did not want to overstay her welcome.

Moreover, now that Old Man Rayne had finished eating, it was time for him to rest. Her presence would only affect Old Man Rayne’s rest.

After Wanda heard that Luca had something to do, she knew that it was not her place to ask her to stay. Hence, she said, "In that case, wait here for a little longer. Luke has arranged for a driver to come over. He should be here any moment now."

"Mr. Crawford arranged a driver for me?" Luca was stunned. She did not expect Luke to arrange a driver for her.

"Yeah. Don’t let the driver come for nothing. Don't worry, just sit down and wait for a while. I'll go to the kitchen to cut some fruits for us." Wanda persuaded Luca to stay for a while longer and walked to the kitchen.

Old Man Rayne was sitting on the sofa in the living room. He looked at Luca with a smile on his face and said, "Luca, your chess skills are not bad. Although you're still miles away compared to me, it's fun to play chess with you. Come over for dinner more often and play chess with an old man like me."

She could not bring herself to turn down Old Man Rayne's request. "Okay."

Wanda brought out the cut fruits from the kitchen. Just as she placed it on the coffee table, her phone rang. She glanced at it and said, "Luca, the car has already arrived at the community’s entrance."

Luca heard her and stood up. "Okay, I'll head off now."

"Why don't you wait for the car to come in? I'll just let the security guard at the entrance know," Wanda suggested.

Luca turned her down. "Don’t worry about it. It's just a few minutes away. I'll walk over. The food you made tonight was so delicious and I had so much. It’s good for me to walk it off.”

Wanda reckoned that even if Luca left now, she would not bump into Marie and the others. She knew Marie well. Marie would not have the patience to wait at the entrance for the entire day.

"Okay, I'll walk you out," Wanda said.

The two left the house together and when they reached the entrance of the villa, Luca stopped and said, "Ms. Rayne, this is good enough."

"I'll walk you to the community’s entrance." Wanda continued to walk.

Luca took her hand, shook her head, and said, "I'll just walk there by myself. Old Man Rayne's concoction should be ready soon. You'd better go back and watch it so as not to overcook it. Otherwise, the effects of the concoction will be affected."

As soon as Wanda heard that, she gave up on sending Luca off because Old Man Rayne's concoction was still simmering on the stove. "Okay. Be careful and pay more attention to your safety."

Luca was in a trance. She felt as if she had gone back to the past when her family would tell her all kinds of caring words before she went to school.

She left the villa, walked to the gate of the community, and saw the ostentatious but low-key Mercedes-Benz.

The Mercedes-Benz was low-key because the model was common in the area. There were always several such cars in this community. It was not the most luxurious car per se.

However, the license plate number was high-profile. Luca looked at the car plate and guessed that it was the car that Luke sent.

Before she walked over, the driver had already spotted her. He got out of the car and opened the door to the backseat for her. "Dr. Craw, I'm the driver Mr. Crawford sent to pick you up."

"Thank you." Luca got into the car.

The driver closed the door, returned to the driver's seat, and drove away.
